Are you running a kindergarten school where toddlers get a place to learn while having loads of fun? If yes, you may be looking for pre-k award certificates to present them to the little ones during your annual award function or ceremony. These are also known as the end of year certificates in some kindergarten schools.

Things you can write in a preschool award certificate
This is the first step because before you start the design, it is vital to have a concise idea or understanding of the things that you should include in your certificate. You need to careful regarding the choice of words. It is better to steer away from including too many words in the certificate to make it look professionally designed and clutter-free.
Some of the things that you must include on the award certificate are the following ones:
- An assorted decorative border
- A colorful header in large font size
- A subheading in relatively smaller font
- Date and Year
Among the above ones, it would be wise if you opt to leave black space for date and year as then you can use the same template again also and it will remain relevant for really a long time. Moreover, the day on which you are supposed to present the certificates may get postponed due to some unforeseen reason. Also, never forget to include a blank space to add a name of the kid in the certificate.
As if this is not enough…
I am also guiding you through the types of headers that you can include in your pre-k award certificate. Some of these are given below.
- Pre-Kindergarten Certificate
- Completion Pre-K
- Pre-Kindergarten Diploma
- Pre-Kindergarten Graduation
- Preschool Certificate
- Kindergarten Diploma
You can be quite creative with your heading but still it is best to stick around simple words like Kindergarten or Preschool as it is meant for kids who have successfully completed the same. It can be also termed as the end of term certificates.
For subheadings written immediately below or above the header, you can write words like Congratulations, ‘the certificate is presented to’, ‘this is to certify that’, and so on.
